Arts
Episode 1 is a conversation with artist John Costi, who is part of this year's Young London 2018 exhibition, at V22. As well as making art John is involved in social projects in the community that he grew up in. We talk about art and graffiti and how they co exist in a slightly awkward way, and about how art can be used as a means of rehabilitation. We also talk about John's slightly unorthodox path into contemporary art, his time behind bars and how he feels he fits in to the current creative landscape. Sadly for this episode Rowan couldn't make it, so we were joined by Lima based journalist Alex Houghton who has been working on a documentary in Burkina Faso about rehabilitation in prisons there.
